Mark Hamill Stays in His Comfort Zone
Okay… Mark Hamill, voicing an evil crazy dude, in a dark, gothic, noir-ish big city. Way to stretch yourself, Mark.
I kid, of course — this isn’t a live-action Batman: The Animated Series (although how gloriously awesome would that be) but a trailer for the Hungarian sci-fi flick Thelomeris. Other than being subtitled “City of Time,” looking kind of steampunky and starring Hamill as “The Stranger,” I have no fucking clue what’s going on. Does Topless Robot have any Hungarian fans that can tell me what the hell this movie is about? (Via Twitch)
